Best Current Practices for Securing Internet of Things (IoT) Devices draft-moore-iot-security-bcp-01 Abstract In recent years, embedded computing devices have increasingly been provided with Internet interfaces, and the typically-weak network security of such devices has become a challenge for the Internet infrastructure. This document lists a number of minimum requirements that vendors of Internet of Things (IoT) devices need to take into account during development and when producing firmware updates, in order to reduce the frequency and severity of security incidents in which such devices are implicated.

And today has been about the Internet of Ships. Once I got past the smile I found some interesting ideas and concepts out there. Google, as usual, will point you at more than you might wish to know. But a quick look can be fun. And people do see clear links with IoT. Gordon

[iot-discussion] Fwd: Call for Papers: Semantic Interoperability and Standardization in the IoT (SIS-IoT) workshop @SEMANTiCS 2017
by Marco Hogewoning 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Dear Colleagues, Please find attached a call for papers that we received for a workshop in Amsterdam later this year on Semantic Interoperability and Standardization in the IoT. If this is of interest to you, please note the deadline for submissions is July 7. Regards, Marco Hogewoning RIPE NCC > ******************************************************************************* > CfP 1st International Workshop on Semantic Interoperability and Standardization in the IoT (SIS-IoT 2017)https://2017.semantics.cc/satellite-events/sis-iot-semantic-interoperability-and-standardization-iot <https://2017.semantics.cc/satellite-events/sis-iot-semantic-interoperabilit…> > > CHAIRS > Laura Daniele (TNO), Anna Fensel (Semantic Technology Institute, Innsbruck), Raúl García-Castro (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), Enrico Scarrone (Telecom Italia and ETSI SmartM2M), Omar Elloumi (Nokia and oneM2M) > > TIME > Monday, September 11, 2017 - 09:00 to 17:30 > > PLACE > Amsterdam, The Meervaart (Room 4) @SEMANTiCS 2017 <https://2017.semantics.cc/> > > DESCRIPTION > Semantic technology and linked data are perceived by the IoT industry as beneficial technologies to enable semantic interoperability in the fragmented landscape of IoT ecosystems and platforms. However, most industrial practitioners are not familiar with these technologies and are not willing to learn them, as they believe the learning curve is too steep. IoT developers - whether device manufacturers or application developers - ask for rather simple ontologies that are easy to use, and clear guidelines on how to implement semantic web/ linked data solutions, possibly supported by standards development organizations (SDOs), whereas the information they can currently find on the Internet is overwhelming and perceived as not directly applicable. As we have often heard from industrial stakeholders in the past years, there is a clear need to bring semantic technology out of the research labs - where it has been successful so far - to be adopted and applied in operational environments by the IoT industry. > > The main objective of this workshop is to bring SDOs and industrial practitioners in IoT with an interest in semantic interoperability together with the strong and successful research community at SEMANTiCS 2017 to discuss current trends and challenges in Semantic Interoperability and Standardization in IoT. > > WORKSHOP STYLE > The workshop will be a combination of presentations on existing standardization activities on semantics and IoT (state of the art), e.g., SAREF activities in ETSI and oneM2M, and contributions from users on their on-going standardization and research developments on semantic interoperability in IoT (current progress beyond the state of the art), as basis for generating an interactive discussion and bring the collaboration between the research community and the industrial stakeholders a step further. The workshop will include a keynote from Omar Elloumi, the “IoT Evangelist of the Year” (https://www.realwire.com/releases/IoT-Evangelist-of-the-Year-prize-for-oneM… <https://www.realwire.com/releases/IoT-Evangelist-of-the-Year-prize-for-oneM…>), and a panel with experts from the research community and industrial stakeholders. > > Contributions from users on their on-going standardization and research developments on semantic interoperability in IoT should be submitted in the form of research papers (max 8 pages) or short papers (2 to 4 pages). Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give a presentation at the workshop. Accepted papers will published in the workshop proceedings. As a result of the workshop we also aim at publishing an overview paper/workshop report in a relevant journal or magazine. > > CALL FOR PAPERS > We solicit contributions in the form of research papers (max 8 pages) or short papers (2 to 4 pages). Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give a presentation at the workshop. > > Relevant topics of interest include the use of (ontology) standards for solving semantic interoperability issues along the following lines: > Cross-cutting IoT semantic interoperability approaches reusing standards > Use cases and implementations from pilots, innovation and research projects > Current trends in standardization bodies related to IoT > IoT standardization in vertical sectors (Smart Cities, Industrial Applications, Ageing Well, Smart Agriculture, Smart Energy, Wearables, Smart Appliances, Cooperative and Connected Mobility, etc.) > Alignment of ontology standards among standardization bodies > Solutions for machine-to-machine semantic interoperability > Open source implementations > PAPER SUBMISSION > Papers should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting and must not exceed 8 pages in length for full papers and 4 pages for short papers, including references and optional appendices.

[iot-discussion] Mark Warner on IoT security
by Blake Willis 11 Jun '17

11 Jun '17

Greetings folks, My United States Senator, Mark Warner, has penned an excellent article on the roles government & the private sector can (& should) play in IoT security: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/senator-mark-warner-us-iot-secur… It is well worth a read in its entirety. IMHO there are several ideas in there worth discussing in this working group.

by Anna Wilson 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hello all, At the IoT BoF this evening, there was positive discussion about forming a working group. Some volunteers got together after the meeting to start to hammer out a charter. This is what we came up with. Draft: The Internet of Things working group will work on the areas of: - what role do service providers want to play - what role can service providers play - what do we need from manufacturers - engaging with governments and regulators - educating stakeholders - recommendations for vendors, service providers, end users and relevant stakeholders Best regards, Anna -- Anna Wilson Service Desk Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland’s National Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George’s Dock, IFSC, Dublin D01 X8N7, Ireland +353 (0)1 6609040 anna.wilson(a)heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.

by Suzanne Taylor 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi all, As promised, here's a summary of the brief discussion that took place during the closing plenary session at RIPE 74 about the potential creation of a new RIPE Working Group focused on IoT. Anna Wilson provided a brief explanation of the BoF that took place and Hans Petter Holen presented a slide on the draft “proto-charter" submitted by the team of volunteers. Hans Petter said that a slot will be made available during RIPE 75 to focus on this topic and to decide whether to form a Working Group. You can find the slides here (the video recording is not immediately available because there was a problem with the recording equipment): https://ripe74.ripe.net/presentations/160-RIPE74_Closing-Plenary.pdf Cheers, Suzanne

<without attachement as that seem snot to be allowed> Hello all of you, Having tried within two ISPs to push for some 25 years the next generation of the Internet, I am looking at other tactics. For Internet of Things I want to have a client focused direction. Following more or less also the ideas that Internet 2 (the USA NREN ISP) has around Internet of Tings a few workgroups: http://www.internet2.edu/communities-groups/advanced-networking-groups/inte… I have investigated the ideas our clients have around Internet of Things, see: https://www.heanet.ie/blog/what-can-the-iot-do-for-the-educationresearch-se… And now I am in the process of setting up a Special Interest Group (attached are some of the subject that came up after this consultation with clients). Of course similar subjects came in your discussion, and I hope a posisble RIPE WG can be complementary to this. Just my few cents. All the best, Victor <With a hat of a non commercial server provider to a closed user group: the Irish education and research sector> On 11/05/2017 13:58, Marco Hogewoning wrote: > Thank you Gordon, > > May I again urge the participants to try and not only focus on the problems or particular incidents. > > While of course these examples help and can be used to learn from, I would really like to focus on wha this community can contribute towards solutions.
